> The claim that email makes scamming, on the level we've historically seen, easier is laughable.

Right or wrong, the assertion seems to be not that email makes the scam itself easier, but that it lessens the social impact on the scammer (making it easier to decide to be a scammer, and ignore the impact you are having on the other person).

Sure, but if the scammer doesn't have an environment within which s/he can exist, s/he won't be around for long.

I am cool with the content of your messages in this thread, but you should be aware that many of us come from linguistic backgrounds with more complicated nomnitive reference sets than (he || she).
